Way to go Japan!

Soon you'll get to zero cases, just like your neighbor North Korea.

hopefully these numbers will now low enough for the government to do the right thing and end all restrictions on October 1st. I’m sure most will still wear masks and take precautions anyway and with high vaccine take up things are looking good.

I really wish I was naive enough to believe these numbers, but with the low number of tests being done in the city these reports become almost almost useless.

Hopefully COVID is getting under control, but if this is true its more in spite of the government and not thanks to it.

ffsn@7pm. We’ve touched on this before. Some people’s personal hardships have been more difficult than single people’s due to Covid, including separation from immediate family & children. Somethings just can’t be solved by a “pep talk”.

Time for some positivity, getting back to normal and stop being afraid, it causes stress which weakens the immune system.

Everyone has been hit hard, some harder than others. Doubt Ashley has as much as myself running my own business, I don’t have a salary to fall back and rely on. Positivity helped me get out of that hole, it’s always a good thing and it’s a mindset and way of life open to anyone.

We have witnessed people posting here lose the plot and come out with bizarre theories because of a negative mindset. It makes you fear the worse possible outcome which is unlikely to occur, always be prepared for anything don’t let it take over your life and induce panic and fear.

People in Tokyo are packed together all the time and yet the number is near zero.

Here's a clue.

If you look in the cdc website you'll find that in k12 classrooms the students aren't considered close contact when a classmate tests positive for sarscov2 if everyone is wearing masks properly

PCR tested in Tokyo Sept. 20th: 2,588 people.

PCR tested in Tokyo Sept. 20th: 2,588 people.

That is a 25% infection rate! Therefore, if they were testing around 25,000 a day like during the Olympics, that would be around 6,000 infections for one day. Those are similar numbers to a month ago. That is not a decrease at all but an increase.

The number of coronavirus-related deaths reported nationwide was 54.

Still high but graph continuous to point generally downwards

Effective reproduction number at .63

Let's see what the cooler weather brings

Numbers slightly higher after the long weekend, but the overall trend remains good. Just under 70m people in Japan fully vaccinated now, so expect cases to continue their falling trend.

No doubt I'll get some downvotes from JT's resident conspiracy theorists.
